Newsletter only prints one page

[HRM]

I have created a newsletter. When I print from Publisher everything looks
great. When I send as an email everything looks great. If the email is
printed, the first page prints fine, but the content is cut off and the
second page is blank. Any suggestions?

Been there - experienced that. I tried everything I could think of. Finally
tweaked the heck out of the text until it all fit on a single printed page.

It still doesn't print past the first page. At least nothing I did made it
print.

It will print past the first page if you setup your printer for 20 feet. If the email
is text only it will print as text, but once images are involved the email gets
converted to a picture. It will print if your setup your printer to accommodate the
size, like a banner, it will tile.

Are most printer drivers able to do that automatically?

Setup Publisher as a banner and insert the long email into it, it will print tiled.
It does get past the one page, but it is a terrible way to receive an email. The only
good way to send Publisher as a message is to have no images involved. Or convert to
a PDF. I'm not sure I agree with having the email option available is to anyone's
benefit.

It was nice to be able to send information about a class our guild is
hosting. We were in danger of canceling the class due to lack of
participants. I sent out a Publisher email with a photo of the class as well
as details for signing up. That email was sent to approx 700 region members.
The class will be held the day after tomorrow. Full class - full waiting
list. To say that the tactic was successful is putting it mildly.

I can't ask all of those members to change their printer settings because
some of them barely know how to retrieve an email. I get enough flack about
the fact that they need to use a password to access the newsletter online.
I'd never hear the en of the printer setting issue.

And now I need to finish getting ready for the board meeting. I need to
explain why I will not and cannot remove that password.

You can open the image in Paint, it will automatically print tiled, so will Corel if
you select the option.

After I created the email in Publisher, I didn't want to do anything other
than hit send. The email had the photo at the top, info about the class, and
then the coupon. The coupon kept getting cut short. I tweaked the text and
adjusted the photo until everything fit. I then emailed it to myself and
printed it (as if I was one of the target audience). What a hassle.

I can be a very patient person but that was a bit ridiculous. I can print
out other emails and they will print multiple pages. Why do we have to jump
thru hoops with Publisher?
